OTR Weekend - Ladies' Night

An MPDMedia OTR Special

Twenty-four episodes of old-time radio, from 1934 - 1961, featuring such talent as Ginger Rogers, Olivia de Havilland, Eve Arden, Natalie Masters, Amanda Randolph, Mary Martin, Ann Sothern, Georgia Ellis, Rosalind Russell, Marie Wilson, Cathy Lewis, Angela Lansbury, Bette Davis, Ida Lupino, Agnes Moorehead, and other favorites of stage, screen, and television. Here are women's pictures, sit-coms, soap operas, thrillers, and adventures aimed at the female side of the sofa. Two episodes of Lux Theater mean you can spread these shows out over two evenings, with eleven extra shows each night for full entertainment -- and most of the soaps are less than 20 minutes each. Some of the guys heard are Dennis Morgan, Lionel Barrymore, Lew Ayres, and William Conrad. Perfect for long trips, quarantines, sports widows, rainy nights, etc.
